120 minute

I find the exact opposite is true.

Fresh it's a sweet syrupy alcoholic mess. With time it actually develops a hop presence. I find 6 months to a year is the sweet spot.

And yes, I know this is against everything we all know about IPAs and I can't explain it.

Mind you that it's never really a hoppy beer.

 

In that case I might as well drink one now and save one for later...

 

I agree. When it is new it is undrinkably sweet for me. But with at least a year on it, it mellows and becomes slightly more balanced. Still not one of my favorites. I have some I'm going to let sit for a long time and see if it helps.

 

My friend from Dallas bought 6 of them. She must not be able.to.find it up there.

 

6 isn't so bad. Other than the fact it's $10 a bottle. lol

I would never hoard that beer. It's a nice one about once a year. Other than that, I can pass.

 

people still get excited about this beer?

 

Well it has only come out in bottles once in the last 4 or so years. Well, twice now I guess.

It's a new thing to a lot of newer beer nerds.

 

I said the same thing about the price. I only had it for the first time like 6 months ago, so it was exciting to finally get the Big brother to the 60-90 minute.

 

I was more excited when I got a 64oz growler for $20 - split with two other guys, that was a solid night.

 

Hoping to snag myself a bottle or 2.

 

21 ounces of 120 is pretty serious!

 

I would love to get a growler of this. Kinda winey and tons of my non-craft friends loved it.

Great stuff!

 

That's so weird. My brother who hates all things hoppy loves this beer.

 

Specs in Temple got 5 cases of it yesterday.

 

Have you ever had fresh DFH 120 Min? No. Then buy 2 or 3 and drink one now and age the rest at least a year. There is no other reasonable answer to the 'drink now or age it?' question.

Taste is subjective and just because some people don't enjoy it fresh but do after a few months/ years does not mean you will so drink it and if you like it drink more of it. Ageing it might ruin it for you and your specific palate.

 

Specs-smith had a bunch last night.

 

Specs Bay Area got a case in. 1 bottle limit. I'm happy.

 

Specs Fort worth eastchase still had a bunch on the shelves 1 bottle limit.

 

I think this should be like a 3 bottle limit

Even at that I think it will last a while due to price.
